WILBUR F. STOREY WILL CASE.
Litigation Renewed Yesterday in the Chi.
cagO Probate Court.

CHIcAGO, April S.-The litigation over
the will o the late WilbSr F. Storey was
renewed in the Probate Court before Judge
Knickerbocker to-day. On the application
of counsel fer Arson I. Storey and the
other heirs-at-iaw, the decision of the Su-
preme Court overriding that of the late
Judge Rodgers was admitted to record
and the petition Of Eureka G. Storey, filed
December %, 1884, was dismissed. This
overrules the probating OF the will of 1881,
but counsel for the widow filed second
petition on behalf of their client, in which
she prays that the previous will of Feb
ruary IS, 1879, be admitted to probate
This petition shows that in the will in
question MIR. Storey left house property,
real estate and personal property
valued at S1500,000, aud thai
the only heirs-at-law were the
brother of the decess d, Arson L.
Storey; his sister, Mary E. Farrand; his
niece, Mary Z. Anderso and his nephew
Edward ID. Chaplin. Notice OF the appli-
cation for the probatiDg OF the will having
been duly served on w. G. Goudy, counsel
for the heirs-at-law, the matter was taken
up. Mr.. Joseph B. Chamberlain, one of
the witnesses to the will. had been specially
cited from Boston by Mrs. Eureka Storey's
counsel and was present in court. He tes-
titled to having been in the apartment of
Mr.. Storey on the day the will was ex-
ecuted to having seen Nj. Storey sign it.
and to having signed it himself at Mr..
Storeys request. Witness was manag ng
editor of the Times at the time in question,
had frequently beer in Mr. Storey's com
paDy, and considered him in no way in
capaciated from making his will. The
witness was not cross-examined.

in London, where CHARLES DICKENS, JR.
he first read selections from "Dombey
and SOM and 'sTom Sawyer's
Party Since then he has de-
voted himself to the study of elocution.
Mr.. Dickens is in possession of the care
fully marked copies from which mis- father
was accustomed to read, and which he
rehearsed at family parties. Young
Charles was often present, and the i'm
pressions that he received from hearing
his father read have undoubtedly much to
do with the inimitable way in which he
portrays his fathers characters.
When the separation between Charles
Dickens and his wife occurred, the
younger Charles wisely decided to remain
with his mother. His choice was ap-
proved of by his father, who afterward
welcomed his eldest SON to his home and
made him his heir.
Young Charles received good educa-
tiOn, and was for some time under the
care of Miss Coutts, now the Baroness

prietor CT AL the Year Round, which

FROM SEA TO SEA.
THE PACIFIC RAILROADS AS A
PRESENT OPERATED.

Map Showing the Lines of the Central
and Union, the Southern, the North
erp, the Canadian and Other Lines of
Rail Connecting the Two Oceans.
Twenty-seven years ago Richard T.
Burton, the noted British traveller, crossed
the North American continent and did us
up in the usual style of the Englishman
! before the war; While he found fault
Z with oil our institutions Except Brigham
Young-with him he formed strange
friendship, his choicest sarcasm was
poured upon our ''dream of Pacific rail-
road" He ridiculed the party plat
forms of 1856, which approved the scheme;
and at the end of a months visit in Utah,
on taking leave of Brigham Young, he
family conceded that 'such O railroad
may possibly be built in the next CEN
tury." Eight years and some months
after that Oracular utterance the last spike
was driven at Promontory Point, on the
Central road; and now we have five great
lines across the continent, with connec-
tions at each end and across the middle,
which practically give US choice of two
more. The impossible has been accom-
plished; and when the future Macaulay
sums up on this age, the great railroads
over the plains and mountains will be the
subject of his most brilliant chapter.
The British have had their laugh on us,
too; for we as confidently predicted that
the Canadian Pacific could never be suc-
cessfully operated, yet our northern
neighbors have complete connection from
Nova Scotia to Puget sound-3, 800 miles
and winter travel on that line is
scarcely more obstructed than on onr Gen.
tral Pacific. 1t has been found that the
lower altitude of mountain passes fully
offsets the great cold of the far north.
AS one leaves central Colorado the coun-
try slopes gently toward the north and
the mountains sink much more rapidly
than the plains. Thus the Marshall pass
on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad is
|, 200 feet above the sea and the highest
pass ON the South Park branch of the
Union Pacific is II ,250 feet Thence the
mountains fall off SO rapidly toward the
north that Sherman, the highest depot on
the Union Central Pacific, is but 6,235
feet high; Bozeman pass, the highest on
the Northern Pacific, 5,570, and Kicking
Horse pass, highest on the Canadian
Pacific, $500 feet. But the last has o
still greater advantage-it is nearer the
Pacific ocean than Sherman Or Bozeman
and the SO called Chinook winds'' melt
the snow in the pass while the fields of
middle Dakota are still in wintry white.
The Rocky mountains continue to de-
crease in elevation till one nears Alaska;
then they rise rapidly, in awful grandeur,
till Mount ST. Elias rears its summit
20, 900 feet, 1000 feet higher than Popo-
catapetl-so the highest point of the
longest mountain chain in the world is
now in United States territory, and the
old Biographies which credited it to
Mexico are obsolete.
The Union Central Pacific was the first
of these great lines completed The COM
pound name arises from the fact that con-
gress authorized the Central Pacific OF

AFGHAN BOUNDARY PILLAR.

termined. From Andkhui, its present
termination, to Kham-i-Ab, ON the Oxus,
the portion of the boundary lately settled
at ST. Petersburg will require about q
dozen more pillars, and small expedi-
tion, it is understood, will be sent from
India to look after their erection. The
pillars on the now altered line, between
the Khushk md the Murghab, win have
to be taken down and placed again on the
new line. The erection of these boundary
marks required the use of good many
camels to bring bricks and other materi-
ais, and employed number of the
Turkomans
The lower part of the frontier, it will
be remembered, ran from point west of
the Khushk, by Chaman-i-B Bald northeast
ward, to point on the Murghab below
Maruchak. The Russian boundary posts
already standing along this line of the
frontier between the Khuskk and Murg-
hab now have to be moved forward, in
pursuance Of the new arrangement, about
eighteen miles in direct line nearer to
Herat, giving the Russians correspond
ing advance in the direction of the So
called "key of India.n The new frontier
viii run from place called Chahil Dok-
tar, on the Khushk, northeastward along
the hills bordering Badghis, scross the
river Khushk at point called Tur Shekh,
ON to place called Karaoul Khaneh, at
the junction of the small river Kaisor
with the Murghab. The area of this
valley pasture land now ceded to Russia,
and restored to her Sarik Turkomans, is
1880 square versts, or S14 square miles.
At first the British government proposed
to give Russia only about twenty square
versts at this point In return the ameer
receives about sixty square versts, or
twenty-seven square miles, at Khoja Saleh
and Kham-i-Ab. Bosaga is to be Rus
sian and not an Afghan post. This IL
the Russian account Of the transaction.

GEN. JAS. B. RICKETTS,. the "Disputed
Territory controversy. He served
throughout the Mexican war ana
participated in the battles of Mon-
terey, Buena Vista, and Ronconada
Pass. In 1852 he went to Florida and took
part in hostilities against the Seminole
Indians. He afterward saw considerable
service on the southwestern frontier, and
was in garrison at Fortress Monroe when
the rebellion broke out. He was in COM
mand Of battery at the capture of Alex
andria, Va, on May "a, 1861, and was
brevetted lieutenant colonel on July 81 of
the same year for gallant and meritorious
services at the battle of Bull Run, where
he was severely wounded and captured.
He was held as prisoner and disabled by
his wounds until 1862, when he served
in the Shenandoah valley and north
ern Virginia campaign. Cedar Mount
ain, Rappahannock Station, Manas-
sas and Chantilly were some of the
battles in which he bore a brave part.
He also participated in the Maryland cam
paign of the Army of the Potomac, and
fought at the battles of South Mountain
and Antietam and afterward in those of
the Wilderness, Cold Harbor and others.
He svas made major of the First artillery
on June 1, 1853, and brevetted colonel
year later for gallant services at the
battle of Cold Harbor. He was on active
service up to Oct. 10, 1864, when he
was severely wounded at the battle of
Cedar Creek. On March 13, 1865,
he was brevetted brigadier general

chiefs being practically independent and
often hostile.
Early in Victoria's reign o British
army, with an immense train of camp
followers, was completely destroyed In at
tempting a retreat from the country-an
event known in British history as the
Cabul disaster. After reconquest of the
country and many years of negotiation
the British viceroy of India, Lord Lytton,
declared war against Shere Ali, the
ameer, and compelled him to abdicate in
1879. The British set up his nephew,
Abdurrahman, as ameer, but the latter's
cousin, Ayoub Khan, son of Shere Ali, re-
belled, defeated the British at Maiwand,
July 27, 1880, and besieged them in Can
dahar Gen. Roberts arrived by forced
marches and scattered Ayoub Khan's
army; the latter, after many reverses, fled
into Persia, where the government agreed
to restrain him. But he has, little by lit

and intrigued with the Russians to secure
freedom of action, and has finally escaped

of Shere Ali and the sworn enemy of the
English, of course trouble is apprehended;
the extent of it will depend on the
strength of the discontented elements in
Afghanistan and the degree to which
they and Ayoub Khan are sustained by
the Russians.
From London illustrated paper we
take the accompanying cut of pillar No.
So of the series of pillars set up by the
commission appointed to fix the boundary
between Russian possessions in Asia and
Afghanistan. These pillars are number
ed in regular order, beginning at Zulfkar
on the Heri-Rud, where the boundary
starts from the west, and this one is on
the top of round hill, distant about six
teen miles to the west of Dowlutabad.
They are built of brick, the bricks being
generally found in the old "robats," or
caravansaries, now in ruins, which were
along the lines of route in former times.
The pillars are erected on earthen bases,
and are all plastered and numbered.
At present there are about sixty-five of
these pillars, which have been erected to
mark the line so far as it has been de-
